You can make a bracelet, pendant or necklace from this pattern too.



I'll show you how to connect them into a bracelet in the last step.

1.



On comfortable length of thread, pick up the alternate pattern of 11/0 and pearl 3mm four times, total of eight beads. Pass through all beads again to form a ring as in the photo. Exit your thread at the 11/0.

2.



Pick up crystal 4mm, 11/0, czech 6mm, 11/0 and crystal 4mm. Pass through the same 11/0 we started (red arrow).

Pass through the next pearl and 11/0 (blue arrow).

3.



Repeat step 2 all around with good tension. Pass through the beads to exit at the czech 6mm (red arrow).

4.

Pick up pearl 4mm. and pass through the next czech 6mm (red arrow).

5.



Repeat step 4 all around. Pass through all beads in this round again with good tension. Exit your thread at the czech 6mm.

6.



Pick up crystal 4mm. 11/0 and crystal 4mm. Pass through the next czech 6mm. (red arrow).

7.



Repeat step 6 all around with good tension. Exit your thread at the crystal 4mm before czech 6mm. (red arrow).

8.



Pick up 11/0 , pearl 3mm, 11/0, pearl 3mm and 11/0. Pass through the next crystal 4mm (red arrow). Exit your thread at the next 11/0.

9.



Pick up three 11/0s and pass through the same 11/0 we started (red arrow). Pass through the next crystal 4mm (blue arrow).

10.



Repeat step 8 and 9 all around.

11.



You can make a ring of seed beads to hang an ear hook as you like.

Exit your thread at the top 11/0 on the picot (red arrow). Pick up three 11/0s and pass through the hole of the ear hook. Pick up another three 11/0s and pass through 11/0 we started (red arrow). Reinforce your path by passing through all beads and the ear hook again.



Make another piece of earring. Finished!

This is how I connect them into the bracelet.



First, make this pattern from step 1 - 10 about five or six squares. (In step 8, I reduce the number of 11/0 and use high tension.)

Exit your thread at the 11/0 seed bead. It can be any red arrow. Pick up pearl 3mm, 11/0 and pearl 3mm. Pass through the 11/0 at the other square.

Pass through crystal, czech 6mm, crystal and 11/0. Pick up pearl 3mm, 11/0 and pearl 3mm. Pass through the 11/0 at the square we started.

Now we will connect in the middle. Pass through the crystal, pearl 3mm and 11/0 (blue arrow). Pick up 11/0 and pass through the 11/0 of the other square (blue arrow). Pick up 11/0 and pass through the 11/0 at the square we started. Reinforce your path if needed.



Add jumprings and clasp! Done!

Hope you like the bracelet too. Happy beading!
